"I am fairly certain that your friend is cursed, but if you want me to be 100 percent certain, then I'd need to see the patient so I can personally examine his condition." Li Shizhen suddenly said.

"Uhh…"

Li Shizhen's words took Yuan by surprise.

"I-I'm sorry, but that's impossible," he said a moment later.

"Impossible? Why?" Li Shizhen raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, and something happened to his family recently, so it's even more difficult to see him now…" Yuan made up some random excuse.

After all, it was not like he could tell Li Shizhen the truth about his situation, as he'd sound crazy.

"Is that so?" Li Shizhen doubted Yuan was telling him the truth, but he didn't say anything about it, as there must be a reason why Yuan was acting this way.
